54. Chapter 54
After Meng Xin got off work, she and Lian Yin drove to the place to eat one after the other. This is a more authentic Cantonese restaurant, and Cantonese cuisine is Lianyin's favorite cuisine.
"Even the three apes, I'm so sorry to see you. Three land apes? As soon as Lian Yin walked into the store with Meng Xin, the male owner of the store greeted him. His shop is relatively remote and not very well-known, and customers like Lian Yin, who are rich and often come to eat, are remembered by the boss. It's just that the boss is more curious, Lian Yin didn't bring Lu Si today, and there are more same-sex feelings along the southern coast, so the boss has long known the relationship between the two.
Lian Yin smiled and nodded to the boss to say hello, and said, "I came here with a beautiful woman today, so don't ask so much, it's still the same." β
The question that should have been embarrassing was resolved by Lian Yin's words, Meng Xin stood beside Lian Yin with his fists in his hands, and Meng Xin was expressionless and knew in his heart that he responded quietly.
The boss took two people to sit in a seat by the window, and after a while, a table of dishes was served. There is a dry stir-fried beef river, crystal shrimp dumplings, a plate of stir-fried vegetarian dishes, as well as two servings of pineapple oil and a serving of barbecued pork buns.
When Lian Yin attacked the pineapple oil with a knife and fork, Meng Xin sat opposite and suddenly laughed quietly.
"What are you laughing at?" Lian Yin frowned, his face was like jade, and he was a little dazed.
"I can't understand the tastes of even the family." The corners of Meng Xin's mouth hooked an arc, and his gaze fell on the pineapple oil on the silver plate.
Lian Yin knew that Meng Xin was joking that she liked to eat bread and desserts, so she glanced at the other party speechlessly, ignoring her.
"Are you going to eat quietly like this and then go back to the Lianjia mansion by yourself?" Meng Xin rarely said so many words in front of Lian Yin, and now Lian Yin is not as poor as she used to meet every time, she is really a little unaccustomed to it.
"Can't I just go out and have some fun?" Even Yin ate seriously and replied without raising his head.
"Having fun? I don't know which of your pleasures put up with your cleanliness. Meng Xin's words also hit the nail on the head, Lian Yin is a bit of a strange disease, and he is so strict that he has not been in contact with anyone except Lu Si. I heard before that a girl gave Lian Yin a fragrant kiss, but Lian Yin retched on the spot without giving face, and all the friends in the audience were black-faced... This man doesn't give face to other girls. If this matter is left on a woman with a strong temperament, I am afraid that Lian Yin will not be able to get better.
"It can't be him, I have to find a way out for myself."
"By the way, your family doesn't plan to let you enter the business world yet?" Meng Xin understood that Lian Yin couldn't come out of Lu Si's place, so he simply changed the topic.
"Wait another two years, and I'll come to someone when the previous things are almost cleaned up." Lian Yin is now playing around in small units of government agencies all day long, neither thinking about being promoted nor running his own company. One is that I don't want to put myself in the whirlpool of politics, and the other is to hibern, how can a family in politics be truly clean. If the family wants to find another way out of him, they must be extremely cautious and not be caught by others.
"Can you promise me never to get along with Shenghai." Meng Xin took Lian Yin's cup and poured him a cup of tea, and solemnly handed it over.
Lian Yin raised his head and smiled again, "If you say so, then I will sell you this face." β
This can be regarded as a promise from Lian Yin, Meng Xin has never dared to underestimate Lian Yin's ability. Now that he is still operating something in the dark, he can bring the Lu family back to life to be as powerful as it is now, and the company over there in Ai Fengli is also underestimated. So when Lianyin shows his skills in the future, I don't know what kind of turmoil this business world will be.
After the two of them ate almost enough, Lian Yin settled the bill, and the two of them didn't sit down to talk much, Meng Xin said that he wanted to go to Ai Fengli to have a look, Lian Yin waved his hand and drove away. Meng Xin stood on the side of the road and watched Lian Yin go away, and then got into the car, but she didn't go to the new company, but went to a person's home.
"Meng Xin? What are you doing here. It was the heroine on the wedding invitation that Meng Xin showed Lian Yin at noon today, and at this moment, the eldest lady of the Zhang family was looking at the visitor who suddenly arrived with a surprised face.
Miss Zhang is soft-looking, and she looks like the kind of lady who is famous and doesn't care about the world. Meng Xin showed a kind smile and asked, "Are you alone?" β
"No, and my fiancΓ© is here." When the eldest lady of the Zhang family mentioned her fiancΓ©, her face was still relatively indifferent, and Meng Xin quietly took this detail into her eyes.
"May I come in?" Zhang Jianing was still at the door, and Meng Xin reminded in an apologetic tone. For the people of the Zhang family, Meng Xin can still cater to them, after all, he also needs a lot of shopping cards and other products all year round, these are the sincerity of doing business and talking about business, and they are also part of the conversation. And the Zhang family is the giant of C City in this direction.
"Oh yes, come on in, I can't believe it when I see you all of a sudden." Zhang Jianing quickly showed the kind of temperament that she came and went in the mall, in fact, she was not really a deep lady who did not leave the door, but she was also a capable person, but it was still a little worse than Meng Xin.
As soon as Meng Xin entered the door, he saw Lu Si sitting in the living room, Lu Si leaned on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, Zhang Jianing's apartment was decorated very simply, with a fresh sense of nature, but Lu Si on the sofa was holding a cigarette again, and there was wine on the coffee table, which seemed a little out of place.
"Lu Si."
"You?" Lu Si was also surprised to see Meng Xin, "Why are you here?" β
Meng Xin took a closer look at the house with his arm in his arms, and then his eyes swept over Zhang Jianing on the side.
There was a sense of disgust and indifference under the kind expression that Zhang Jianing tried his best to maintain, and Meng Xin smiled and said, "I'll see what you tortured Miss Zhang's family into." β
Hearing this, Zhang Jianing raised his head slightly and looked at Meng Xin, with surprise and puzzlement in his eyes.
"How did you know she was tortured by me?" Lu Si sneered and flicked the cigarette ash and said, "She did this on her own." β
Zhang Jianing looked at Lu Si with some anger when he heard this, but was ridiculed by Lu Si. "Why are you staring at me, since you are not happy, then why don't you let me go?"
Zhang Jianing wanted to refute something, but because of Meng Xin's presence, he opened his mouth and endured it.
"Alright, let's smoke it." Meng Xin walked up to Lu Si, snatched the cigarette from his hand and pressed it into the ashtray.
"Come and sit down." Meng Xin sat next to Lu Si, and motioned for Zhang Jianing to come over and sit opposite him.
Zhang Jianing walked over slowly, and after sitting down, he asked, "What is Manager Meng doing here today?" β
"I want to ask if you know Ai Fengli?"
"Ai Fengli?" Zhang Jianing shook her head, she had never heard of this name.
"Well, it's okay if you don't know each other. She's my girlfriend. Meng Xin said suddenly.
Zhang Jianing's face showed a shocked expression, first, he was surprised that Meng Xin was gay, and second...
"What do you mean by telling me this?" Zhang Jianing calmed down her shocked mood, and asked with a somewhat flat expression, Meng Xin can tell herself this, does she know anything?
"You know what you mean, right?" Meng Xin glanced at the lady in front of her with a deep expression, after all, she still lacked a hard spirit, otherwise, she would not have been so pressured by the Zhang family.
"Ai Fengli is a recent graduate of the Department of Architectural Engineering of University C, if I remember correctly, you have a little lover who is also from this school and this department, right?" Meng Xin leaned back with her legs crossed, and her words were full of deep meaning.
"How do you know?!" Zhang Jianing's face turned pale, how could this matter be known by Meng Xin.
Meng Xin saw the other party's flustered face, and there was almost a result in her heart, sure enough, there was a reason for these two people to suddenly want to get married, she sent someone to check, but there was no result at all, but Ai Fengli helped her a lot when she was confused.
"It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that Miss Zhang, you have a sweetheart, why do you still have to embarrass our Mr. Lu?" Meng Xin turned his head and looked at Lu Si, Lu Si's state was far worse than Lian Yin, Lian Yin knew to hide his thoughts before, and Lu Si's face was full of irritability.
"It's not a dilemma, it's a cooperation." Zhang Jianing worked hard to maintain her love, she didn't want her private life to be known by Meng Xin, this was a trick, she didn't dare to guarantee that Meng Xin would take something to blackmail herself, just like the entire Zhang family was always ready to use this matter to open her knife.
Meng Xin looked at Lu Si and waited for his statement.
"It's cooperation, it's the cooperation I promised." Lu Si nodded, and spoke with some difficulty.
"Don't you regret it?" Meng Xin didn't care what cooperation the two of them had reached, she just wanted to know if Lu Si was determined to leave Lianyin?
"What do you regret? The decisions that should be made have been made, and I don't regret it, so leave it for later. β
Lu Si is like a self-defeating loser at the moment, Meng Xin doesn't understand what difficulties he has, but what difficulties he has shouldn't be like this. What the Zhang family can solve, Lianyin can definitely solve, so why bend to the Zhang family instead of looking for Lianyin, Meng Xin is a little incomprehensible.
"He won't let you go." Meng Xin also looked at Zhang Jianing while speaking.
Zhang Jianing smiled and said, "Do you mean Lianyin?" I welcome the young master of the Lian family to declare war on me. β
"Oh?" Meng Xin didn't expect her to know about Lian Yin and Lu Si, it seems that this matter is very interesting.
"Alright, in that case, you two will slowly torture each other." After saying this, Meng Xin stood up and was about to leave, and when she was about to go out, she turned around again and said to Lu Si: "Since this is your choice, then you should compromise." Don't play with the fire, and don't embarrass Miss Zhang too much, this is not like the work of a big man like you. β
Zhang Jianing knew that Meng Xin was speaking for herself, so she nodded to express her gratitude, this is good, she accepted it. Sometimes deciding whether to be an enemy or a friend is a matter of action. Just like at this moment, Meng Xin wisely expressed her position.
If it's a fun thing, how can you not intervene?
